I do indeed run drscheme in drscheme when I am developing on the mac (which is where I develop most of the time). I found that 80 megs is enough (on the mac you have to say up front how much memory to allocate to each program, so I don't know if I really end up using it all) and that 30 megs was not enough. I didn't try to find something smaller because I do run across the occasional memory leak that needs debugging....

For smaller programs, my experience agrees with Matthias'.
